A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas until 10 PM tonight, creating dangerous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, warning residents across Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and portions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania to exercise extreme caution on roadways.
Locally, the fog is impacting all three Delaware counties – New Castle, Kent, and Sussex – including the Delaware beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties are experiencing the hazardous conditions.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service.
Drivers are urged to slow down immediately, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become treacherous when visibility is this severely limited.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift as we head into the evening hours, with conditions improving after 10 PM tonight.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates as the situation changes. For the latest weather information, stay tuned to your local forecast.
